LifeLock Identity Theft Prevention - Save 10%

My curent credit score is 511. I have been paying ALL my bills on time for 8 months now and have also cleared 2 defaults, but my score isnt improving. Ihave registered with experian and have been keeping a close eye on all my accounts. However my score isnt improving at all. i have made 2 applications for credit in the last 6 months and both have been accepted, 1 catalouge and a loan with welcome finance. I know welcomes % rate is high but im thinking of useing them to consoladate my open accounts down to 1. Is this a bad idea?? will it help my score bringing 5 acounts down to 1?

A lot of good advice here and some not-so-good advice. The best advice your going to get is to learn how to repair your credit and to learn about personal financing.

If you really don't want to go through life paying the "stupid tax" then, yo u got to get smart about money. Life will be much better for you and your family.

If you consolidate, do not close the other accounts, just don't use them. The higher percentage rate of open but unused credit you have, the better. Also, the longer your credit history the better. If you close the older accounts, your credit history will therefore be shorter. Also, 8 months is not long enough for any late payments, etc. to fall off your credit. Keep your diligence and it will pay off.

Good luck!
